Chapter 3 - Chapter 3 System Space (2/2)
“Warning, warning, someone has breached the surveillance perimeter. Please, host, respond promptly.”
At the critical moment of his breakthrough, a system alert rang out, causing Lin Jing’s eyebrows to furrow tightly. He had no choice but to stop cultivating.
“Who would come to me at this time?”
Despite that, Lin Jing did not leave the System Space immediately, knowing that anyone who came to him so late had to be guarded against.
“Let’s see who it is first,” Lin Jing murmured to himself.
“System, activate Observation Mode.”
“Understood, Master.”
Subsequently, Lin Jing felt as if he had activated a god-like perspective, looking down from above at his residence.
With a thought, the viewpoint shifted to the front of the cottage. He saw two people concealing their aura, walking towards the cottage. However, due to the darkness, Lin Jing couldn’t make out their faces.
Under Observation Mode, as long as it was within the alert area, Lin Jing could observe the external situation from various angles, and he could also freely zoom in or out.
Lin Jing zoomed in the view and finally recognized the two people.
“It’s them,” Lin Jing gasped in surprise. “Why would they be together?”
Lin Jing recognized both of them. One was Manager Li, and the other turned out to be his own ‘neighbor’, Yuan Bo.
Them coming here so late at night definitely meant no good. Lin Jing decided to stay put for now and see what their real intentions were.
As they reached the door, they seemed to sense something and leaned close, listening at the door.
“Eh? There’s no one here.”
Manager Li applied a bit of force.
“Creak…”
The door opened in response, and then the two peered inside, only to see the bed inside was empty and there was no one there.
“Didn’t you say he’s been inside the whole time and hadn’t gone out?” Manager Li asked Yuan Bo, his face clearly not looking too good.
“I did see him enter the room and didn’t see him leave.”
“Then how do you explain the situation now?”
“This…”
Watching the empty room, Yuan Bo was at a loss for words.
Suddenly, Yuan Bo seemed to think of something and turned to Manager Li:
“Uncle, you barely managed to get Lin Jing out of the Sect, and that Han guy steps in.”
“Could it be Han Jing this time? Secretly taking him away?”
Hearing their conversation, Lin Jing understood that Yuan Bo was indeed involved with the destruction of the Spirit Field, but what he hadn’t anticipated was that Manager Li was the mastermind.
“The ‘Han Jing’ they’re talking about must be Senior Han,” Lin Jing deduced.
“Impossible.”
“Han Jing has always been upright and would never engage in sneaky activities. If he were to act, he would do it openly and honorably.”
As he spoke, Manager Li walked over to the table and noticed the luggage on it.
“His luggage is still here. He probably hasn’t left.”
“Uncle, what do we do now? Do we wait here for him to return?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing’s heart clenched tight, his heart rising to his throat. He had limited time in the System Space, only two hours.
If the two hours passed and he had not exited, the system would directly throw him out.
By then, if he faced the two men directly, he would have no way out.
Manager Li pondered for a moment, then spoke up.
“Let’s search around first. If we don’t find anything, then we’ll see.”
“I can’t stay here too long, or that Han guy might notice.”
After finishing, the two started rummaging around the house together.
“What are they looking for?”
Lin Jing frowned in contemplation.
Recalling the memories of his predecessor, apart from a few words of advice, his father hadn’t left him anything before dying.
Being as poor as he was, Lin Jing truly didn’t know what could be so valuable that it was worth their attention.
“Warning, warning, someone has breached the alert perimeter. Please respond promptly, Host.”
“Someone else is coming.”
Lin Jing switched the perspective of Observation Mode and saw someone flying on a sword, swiftly arriving above the cottage.
“Li Yeming, do you think that just because you have Elders backing you, I wouldn’t dare to kill you?”
